Frommer's Review
With a reopening slated for the winter of 2007-08 under new ownership, this small upmarket resort is being completely renovated. They are hoping to give the chic Biras Creek on Virgin Gorda a run for the money. This intimate resort is tucked away at the windward side of Frenchman's Cay, a little island connected by bridge to Tortola. The 5-hectare (12-acre) estate enjoys delightful year-round breezes and views of Sir Francis Drake Channel and the outer Virgins. The individual one- and two-bedroom villas (actually a cluster of condos) are well-furnished, each with a shady terrace, full kitchen, dining room, and sitting room. Each two-bedroom villa has two full bathrooms -- a vacation in and of itself for families looking to escape the morning bathroom line. Pastel colors and tropical styling make for an inviting aesthetic, and each unit has good linen and a tub/shower combo. A small beach with rocks offshore is best for snorkeling. Oscar's Restaurant and lounge bar are in the main pavilion, offering a good Continental and Caribbean menu. Prices listed below are estimates and based on previous rates. The hotel will not announce new tariffs until after reopening.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; pool; tennis court; watersports equipment; horseback riding; island tours; car-rental desk; babysitting
